Roxanne was an absolute godsend and I am so grateful we booked her to look after Pippin for the duration of our time away! Pippin tends to be shy and reserved but he warmed up to her quickly and we recieved some lovely update from her about his time with her. She kept to his feeding schedule really well, and we would definitely recommend her!

Katherine was fantastic. She was wonderful with the dogs and understood the intricacies of my troubled pup. She gave me peace of mind while I was away and I will definitely be requesting her to care my pups once again 🥰

About: I have owned pets since I was young so understand the responsibility of looking after an animal. I grew up with my family staffi x who we adopted around 11/12 years ago, she is a nervous reactive dog so I have experience and some basic training from the rspca in that area. Through out my life I have looked after cats and dogs while my friends or family have been on holiday or away, taking care of their daily needs. I previously experience helping my friend who has her own dog sitting business, assisting with walks and making sure they get exercise, plenty of play time and of course cuddles and treats, doing this is what inspired me to make my rover profile. I currently work part time (tues, wed, thurs) with a charity so I have two free week days during the week that I would love to fill doing something I enjoy. With my job I do two days in the office and one day from home so I am able to do weekday stays as long as your pet is able to be left for around four hours two days of the week. Every animal is different so I will make it my mission to build a trusting relationship with your pet, tailoring myself to their needs and always following instructions from the owner as they know their animal best.

Cheryl is a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, Coco, while I was away and kept everything running smoothly. It was reassuring to know Coco was in good hands, and I returned home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. Communication was great throughout, and everything went exactly as planned. I am very happy to recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter, and I will definitely use her services again in the future.

About: Calm, experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of dogs and cats. I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which gave me a deep understanding of daily care, routine, and the bond pets build with their people. I’ve travelled across Australia caring for cats and dogs in a variety of homes, gaining hands-on pet sitting experience with different routines, personalities, and environments. I’ve also worked with a support dog puppy breeder for 3 weeks, where I gained practical experience with training, structure, and early development. Alongside this, I’m training as a dog groomer and learning canine first aid, so safety, care, and attention to detail are always a priority. Most of all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have full availability until mid June to end of July when I start my dog grooming course. I will have days in between off, and I will be available for evening walks and check ins. I respond quickly and honestly so you can feel assured with your plans. In a pet owner’s home, I treat the space with full respect and keep things clean, tidy, and consistent so pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, especially those who are shy, anxious, or need a gentler approach, and I adjust my care to suit their needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, rest, and any specific instructions from the owner. I live with my parents (I’m 30, it’s 2026, it is what it is) in a semi-detached house. Your fur babies will have access to the nice large, fenced garden, warm converted garage space and open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. We are an animal-loving family.

About: Growing up, I have always been around pets and taken care of them for family members, friends, and neighbours. I have a love for any range of animals, especially from having a dog and cat myself. I am flexible with any Rover needs, just at least a few days notice is required, and your pet will be happy being walked or looked after by me! I am currently a student at the University of Chester, which is very close to my house, and I only tend to have one or two classes a day so I am available the majority of the days to look after pets. I am happy to go on constant walks and to play with the pets. am also happy to go to someone else’s house to look after their dog or cat, as well as check-ins.

Caroline looked after Alfie and Toulouse for a week, and we couldn’t be happier. She truly is a cat whisperer — even our shy one, who rarely comes out for anyone, happily went to her at every visit. We received lovely videos and photos, which was such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Caroline. We will definitely be booking with you again!😸🌺🩷

About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.

About: Hi, I’m Lulu. I’m 29 and based in North London. With my own house currently dog-free, I’d love to fill it with furry friends by offering boarding / day care. I’ve grown up around dogs and have loved them all my life. For my fourth birthday, my parents gifted me my first dog, Badger, a Border Collie mix and since then I’ve always lived with dogs. Over the years, I’ve had Murphy, my rescue terrier from Ireland, and more recently Nelly and Heath, two funny rescues from Romania who now live with my parents. I work fully remotely for my family business, which means I’m based at home on the weekdays and very present throughout the day. I spend a lot of time at home, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention. I have a fully fenced garden that’s great for safe outdoor play, roaming around, and regular pee/poo breaks. There are plenty of toys and treats to keep dogs happy and entertained, and the back door locks securely. If needed, I’m happy to leave the radio on at night for comfort. Pets are welcome to curl up on the sofa or wander freely through the house: bedrooms, office, bathroom, and even the top of the stairs (always a favourite spot for my own dogs!). Ultimately, I want them to enjoy themselves and relax wherever they feel most comfortable.

About: I am an animal lover and feel happiest in the presence of animals. Because of this, I am the go-to petsitter of my friends. I have flown to Italy on 2 occasions to look after my friends rabbit. I have experience with reptiles as I had a corn snake for 11 years. I am a dog person but have never had my own dog, so I'm always happy when my friends ask me to pet sit their dogs. I have a full time job, so weekends are best. My work hours vary, but feel free to enquire about weekday evenings as I may be available. I am happy to try and be flexible to accommodate your booking. I'm not on boarding pets in my own home, but I always make the dog feel comfortable in their own home with me in it.

Jade was excellent. She took the time to come meet the cats ahead of the cat sitting and spend time listening to us ramble on about all their quirks. The cats warmed up to her quickly. She was very communicative and sent updates every day with videos and pictures. There were no issues and she held onto keys in case of travel disturbances. Great!
